📣 In this special replay from Less of Me Success Stories, Ketobiography host Robyn Dobbins shares a powerful conversation with a fellow Cholesterol Code participant whose story of treatment-resistant depression, medication side effects, and weight gain led him to discover metabolic therapies and low-carb nutrition. Recorded on March 1st, 2025, this episode captures what it looks like to be both a clinician and a patient, to question standard approaches to mental health, and to slowly reclaim hope when nothing seems to work.

📋 As Robyn returns from a sold-out screening of The Cholesterol Code in Durham, NC, she invites listeners to hear this conversation as a "before" snapshot — one year before their intertwined stories reached the big screen.

🔑 What You'll Learn

• How long-term depression, weight changes, and polypharmacy can erode hope — and why that story is more common than we think.
• What it feels like to navigate the mental health system as both a doctor and a patient searching for answers.
• How discovering ketogenic and metabolic therapies opened a new path for mood, energy, and overall stability.
• Why nutrition, metabolism, and brain health are deeply connected, especially in cases labeled "treatment-resistant."
• How sharing lived experience publicly — and now on film in The Cholesterol Code — can reduce stigma and offer hope to others.

💡 Key Insight "We have an option for people — and they need to know what's out there, because the most frustrating thing is that doctors often aren't interested, even after they see the change." — Eric Rodgers
